I was on a high when I finished Retrieval so getting my hands on this book was a big deal. The cliffhanger was one for the record book.
I am going to try to keep this sorta spoiler free...I pray you have read Retrieval before you read this review. Oh before I forget....5+++++++ Stars
I was pulled into Clare's life as I read her story. Add fuel to the fire is the special situation with her daughter Tessa, who is the only reason she keeps fighting to live. I was afraid of where the author was going to take her characters and how the story would unfold. Every word, every sentence had me wishing for an HEA.
"With a shaky voice, she confessed, "I don't really believe in wishes, but somehow, I've found myself in a situation where a silly wish is all I have left. If I'm lucky enough to catch 11:11 again tomorrow, it means we survived another day."
My dear sweet Clare, the horrors she has lived through is more than I can stomach. Her husband Walt, is beyond crazy and getting out from underneath him may kill her. She was afraid of the things he made her do, afraid she could get in trouble as well. But it was all a part of her life and she had Tessa to think about, she needed to be there for her. There was no way she could ever leave her with him. All she could do was pray for a way out.
And, somehow, someway, after what felt like an eternity of living in Satan's lair, God had finally heard my prayers."
I want to say many more things that happen in this book but for those who haven't finished part one yet, I am going to leave you with this. I hope you read the books they are seriously hands down heart stopping reads.
These two books are going to put Aly Martinez on a whole new level. She can make me cry big fat ugly tears, have my heart beating out of my chest and unsure of the sanity of her characters (sometimes her) and now...she has created this.

I fell in
love with a man who didn’t exist.
Blurb
One
story. Two couples.
I fell in
love with a man who didn’t exist.
What
started out as romance ended in hell.
His words
turned to razor blades.
His
kisses converted to fists.
His
embrace became my cage.
His body
transformed into a weapon, stealing parts of me until ultimately….
I broke.
I hated
him.
My sole
job in life became to protect our daughter.
I wasn’t
sure I’d ever escape the prison he’d skillfully crafted from my fears.
Until the
day our savior arrived.
This is
the story of how I escaped the man who thought he owned me.
The
transfer of my life and my family.
Born and raised in
Savannah, Georgia, Aly Martinez is a stay-at-home mom to four crazy kids under
the age of five, including a set of twins. Currently living in South Carolina,
she passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can
get her hands on, preferably with a glass of wine at her side.
After some encouragement
from her friends, Aly decided to add “Author” to her ever-growing list of job
titles. Five books later, she shows no signs of slowing. So grab a glass of
Chardonnay, or a bottle if you’re hanging out with Aly, and join her aboard the
crazy train she calls life.
